Over the last few weeks we have been in food collecting mode. We have had some visitors that have put some serious time into this too. Thanks Big John, John J Lo, and Lauren.
We have filled the freezer with salmon halibut and red snapper fillets. The smokehouse was running for a few days and there is a pile of smoked salmon all sealed up. The crab just keeps coming. These particular ones became crab cakes at the wedding in Marshfield. Fresh shrimp from a friend's pots are so good, nothing like the stuff you get in a store.
We have jarred up Fireweed Honey made with fireweed and clover blossoms and lots and lots of sugar (20 cups), blueberry jam, blueberry syrup, blueberry pies, wild strawberry daiqueries for the shrimping trips, wild strawberry jam that came out more like syrup but yummy on Lauren's Betty Crocket skillet biscuits she cooked on the fire outside a shack. The garden has started producing too. We have been eating peas, chard, beet greens, and letttuce, the deer have been eating parsnip greens, seedum flowers, chard and grass. Flowers keep showing up in my car when I get out of work. Jonathan? And we haven't taken any deer yet, hunting season opened Aug. 1st.
